My first Sourdough Loaf!
While making my first sourdough loaf, I decided to create a TikTok video to capture my process and incorporate another form of technology.
HERE IS THE RECIPE I FOLLOWED 🙂
Ingredients:
- 500g unbleached bread flour (4 cups)
- 350g water (1 1/2 cups)
- 100g active sourdough starter (1/3 cup)
- 10g salt (1 3/4 tsp)
Directions:
Step 1) Feed your starter and let it peak.
Step 2) Mix the dough – combine starter + water and mix until foamy. Add flour and salt. Mix until dough forms. Cover and rest for 1 hour.
Step 3) Finish bulk fermentation – cover dough and let it rise at room temperature until ready. Timing will be based on the environment.
Step 4) Shape the dough – dump dough onto a lightly floured surface. Shape into a round or oval. Transfer to a banneton or proofing basket. Cover.
Step 5) Cold proof – refridgerate for 12-48 hours.
Step 6) Preheat – preheat oven to 450 degrees with empty dutch oven inside for 45 minutes.
Step 7) Score & bake – place cold dough on parchment paper, score and transfer to hot Dutch oven. Cover with lid.
Step 8) Bake – bake at 450 degrees for 30 mins (lid on). Remove lid and bake for another 12-15 minutes until golden.
Step 9) Cool – remove bread and let cool for at least 1 hour before slicing. Enjoy!
